    Melinda is awesome! We love our lil girl that we got from her ❤️ our willow is such a sweet, cuddly and playful girl! Melinda hasn’t hesitated to answer any questions that we’ve had both before and after getting our puppy and gave us extra goodies so we could help our pup adjust once we brought her home! We could not be happier 😍

    Melinda made the entire process of bringing home my sweet new puppy incredibly smooth and stress-free. She was always quick to respond and patiently answered all of my questions—no matter how many I had. While the process was efficient, she clearly took the time to ensure her puppy was going to a loving and responsible home. It’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about her dogs. She made sure I had all the information and supplies I needed to feel prepared and confident bringing him home. On top of that, she was kind enough to meet me for delivery, which I truly appreciated. I’m so grateful for such a positive experience!
